After Game 5, West Coast rapper Game credited Warriors' Kevin Durantfor ultimately helping the Warriors win the NBA Finals.

"You know, anything that makes me $50,000 richer is cool with me, bro. I bet on today's game. I been with the homies. One of the homies back there's sick, he can't even get home - Kevin Durant being on Golden State was the x-factor - the best player in the world is Michael Jordan. After that is Kobe [Bryant]. After that, and in order of appearance. ... You're about to say LeBron's better than Michael Jordan? Kobe and Mike never lost in the Finals." (TMZ Sports)
